Be careful of the mint, it will take over in a minute.

So does the lemon balm. I have to keep it in check.

Oddly most herbs are annuals. I have two rosemary plants in a concrete planter by the deck that are probably 3 years old now. The base is quite woody now. My thyme continues to survive year to year, as does my oregano. Haven't replanted chives in several years either. Same pot.

Some here with the perennial herbs. We did finally dig out the ancient rosemary, which had lost its oomph. It made a great although very temporary addition to the fire pit.

I planted a new one to have fresh flavor. I have a 6 year old lemon balm I think. that's what the leaves look like. I've never really noticed the blooms. I know it doesn't have the purple blooms which would make it lemon mint or bee balm. And those leaves are different. I might pull the old rosemary and put a plain mint in as well. My old oregano is several years returning now, but I planted a new one beside it anyway. Frankly the parsley and cilantro is easier to get form store. I swear I planted some dill seed somewhere. If it comes up I'll remember where I seeded it. Fixing to dig my last remaining knock out rose. It struggles with the huge 5" mound of mole tunnel dirt that gets expelled around it. I hate those things. The dog that used to dig them up has passed and quit coming to our house anyway after my niece moved out. The moles have been my Elmer Fudd for about 3 years now. My wife laughs at me. They are the OG of illegal immigrants.

My first introduction to Rosemary other than the store or the dried version was in California. Took my son out there for a job internship in Malibu. We were walking down the sidewalk and noticed a wonderful smell. They were using rosemary as a hedge plant.

At our previous house, we had rosemary and lavender along the sidewalk to the house with cheddar pinks (dianthus/pinks/carnations) below. Heavenly smell.

It got pitiful. The needles weren’t glossy green any more, and the flavor and scent were weak. Don’t know if it was poor location, lack of sun, etc. I did some pruning last year to see if I could force new growth, but nope. It was time.

Aight all you experts. Before I lose my mind, either help me solve these two issues or tell me Im worrying too much.

First problem is the leaves on most of the seedlings are "wrinkled". I've researched it to death and concluded that it's either bugs or under watered. It ain't bugs and I keep it moist just like every thing I've read and seen says.

Its hard to tell from the picture, but That little dudes are wrinkled too. And, he doesn't look like he's grown at all in 3 days.

He was was also like the next two pictures, which is the second issue. They have been like that for 3 days. The seed shell won't come off. I had to remove it from the little dude above. I tried to these but the shells are on too tight.
